World Cruises, Luxury Cruises & River Cruises

Gentoo penguins, Antarctica
Gentoo penguins, Antarctica

I am a longtime luxury Cruise Consultant who excels at arranging World Cruises and Expedition Cruises. I also sell cruises on a wide variety of luxury and premium cruise lines, including small ships and river cruise lines. My personal travels have taken me to all seven continents, including so many interesting and far-flung destinations, from Egypt and the Nile River to Easter Island, Bora Bora Bora, Australia and New Zealand, Antarctica, many European countries several times – and closer to home I’ve been to Alaska at least 100 times. You can see more about the destinations I’ve visited on the map below.  

As part of my ongoing education and efforts to provide recommendations for my clients, here are the ocean cruise lines I have sailed on:

  • Holland America Line
  • Seabourn
  • Silversea
  • Celebrity Cruises
  • Princess Cruises
  • Royal Caribbean
  • SeaDream Yacht Club
  • Windstar Cruises 

I have done river cruises with Avalon Waterways and I work with many clients on arranging river cruises, including the pre and post-cruise component with luxury hotels. It's a great way to explore a city more in-depth since you have already made the investment to travel somewhere. 

I have had the privilege of expedition cruising with the following companies:

  • Tauck Small Ship Cruises (Antarctica)
  • Hurtigruten (on board new ship, M/S Roald Amundsen in the Pacific Northwest)
  • Hapag Lloyd (on the Hanseatic, from Nome to Seward, Alaska, including the Russian Far East)
  • Atlas Ocean Voyages (Scotland/British Isles)
  • Silversea (Galapagos Islands)

You can read more in my Specialty Bio about Expedition Cruising. 

I have also inspected cruise ships with the following cruise lines:

  • Regent Seven Seas Cruises
  • Oceania Cruises
  • Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours
  • UnCruise Adventures  

The top destinations I sell to are World Cruises, Alaska, Europe, Antarctica and Africa. 

My professional background encompasses travel from multiple viewpoints: first and foremost as a traveler — having been to so many wonderful destinations allows me to provide my clients with tips and insight on destinations that you can’t find elsewhere. Prior to Cruise Specialists, I worked at Holland America Line for 26 years, overseeing sales to wholesale tour operators, such as Abercrombie & Kent and Tauck. I also worked in group, charter, and incentive travel at SeaDream Yacht Club. I encourage family groups and businesses with as little as just 50 guests to consider chartering for your next adventure, making for an even more customized and enjoyable cruise experience. I can effortlessly coordinate the entire process. 

My experience enables me to anticipate and handle all the little things that make for a perfect cruise vacation, no matter what the complexity. This attention to detail and the quality of service I provide is one of the primary reasons my clients come back time and time again!  

As a Cruise Consultant at Cruise Specialists, I have the support of an incredibly strong and experienced team that helps me respond quickly to you. I have direct connections to important resources at every major cruise line. I strive to be at your side and advocate for you when needed. I eagerly await the opportunity to hear from you, learn more about your travel wishes, and plan the perfect vacation for you.

  • You too can check off bucket list places to experience

    Reviewed By Borgards - Round Rock, TX | Traveled to Mediterranean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
    My husband and I just completed 45 days Mediterranean cruise on Holland America Volendam ship. We made 100% of the planned ports! We were able to experience the Pyramids in Cairo, walk through most historic and beautiful places in Istanbul and see Roman influences in many countries, and finally get on the Gibraltar Rock. Weather was wonderful- little rain, perfect temperature. Being a shoulder season, the crowds weren't bad at all. Traveling with Keith and Susie, CS hosts, was fantastic. They were attentive, personable and made the cruise even better. This is our second cruise with them. We can't wait to do another cruise where they are the hosts. Huge appreciations to them for being our security and advocate on the cruise. CS excursions- in general was very good. Being in our own bus compared to HAL excursions. We had excursions where a large full meal was served vs small meals. We definitely liked small bites better. You didn't feel sluggish for afternoon sightseeing. We did several independent food tours and I wish CS would have couple of these for next cruise we take. There were notable ones to mention. Good - trip to Egypt. Jammed pack with sights but had no choice since we were losing hours from driving to and from Alexandria. Istanbul - didn't like or enjoy first night excursion - drive around in a bus and the fish dinner. Wasn't worth the money.2nd day - way too much walking. We enjoyed it but there were many who said it was exhausting. Again, rush through sites and not enough time. Again, part of the problem was when we got to Istanbul. Overall, great cruise and having Keith and Susie was wonderful.

    Reviewed By The scarf and hat Lady - Medford, Oregon | Traveled to Worldwide
    When I was 14 yrs I read the book "Around the World in 80 Days", and thought it would be wonderful to do it. But it was only last year, after a challenging shoulder surgery, that I decided to fulfill my dream not in 80 days but in 124 days!! I was referred to Gillian by friends. That is probably the best referral I had because Gillian made my dream become a reality without any fuss. I wanted to be very efficient with my money so I reserved an inside cabin, weeks later Gillian gave me the great surprise of an upgrade, a cabin with obstructed view (Up Promenade Deck). But she knows the ships very well, and got me a cabin located in between tenders, so, I had a nice view of the ocean and the sky, albeit with some cables in front of the window, but I was not behind a tender and the sun illuminated my cabin. She made the entire reservation process look very easy, guiding me along the way with choosing travel insurance, visas, flights, etc. etc. I did not need to do anything on my side. She

    We are seasoned travelers, especially via cruises. There are many aspects I will handle on a DIY basis, but not booking a cruise. Gillian is extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented, cares about what is important to you, provides great guidance, and communicates reliably. (And CS has a good team which covers each other's time away from the office.) CS even offers generous perks you don't get when booking directly with a cruise line. Some cruises even include their excellent on-board hosts and special shore excursions which are frosting on a great cake. Gillian makes trip planning enjoyable and you end up confident that everything within her control has been handled properly. Thank you, Gillian!!

  • Gillian to the rescue in our time of need

    Reviewed By Denise - West Hills, Texas | Traveled to World Cruise ~ Other
    We are unpacking . Hurray!

    I’ll keep you informed. Next battle is to recover all the shore excursions we had reserved and paid for, before and during trip. They all have been cancelled. The lead host/guide Tom for Cruise Specialist is going to go to HAL shore excursion desk when it reopens (during our dinner hour) and fight that battle for us. Good people @ Cruise Specialist, use them in your travels. Gillian was our life saver this week. Thank you for offers of help also.
    Stay healthy .

    A Happy Ending to this Drama Production!

  • Great cruise - excellent advice from Gillian

    Reviewed By Klaus - Huntington Beach | Traveled to Mediterranean
    Gillian was terrific throughout the entire booking process. She kept us up to date for changes from Holland America and CSI, and gave excellent advice when we upgraded our stateroom. Her recommendation was spot on - the stateroom was quiet and convenient to every section of the Koningsdam.

    I will continue to work with Gillian as well as referring her to my friends. Gillian is always prompt with my inquiries, offered us with pertinent information throughout our cruise. I appreciated her small touches like birthday cards and little notes while we were on the cruise. Very thoughtful.

    Gillian has always been responsive to requests, concerns and questions. She follows up promptly and I feel like I’m talking with a friend. Can’t wait to meet her in person in July when we are in Seattle.
